6 Uses for Craft Lights

There are tons of uses for small mini light strings that are for more than just the holidays. You can make crafts for other holidays, weddings, special events, parties and more. With all the options for colors, counts and wire colors you will be able to match all types of color schemes and decorations to perfectly light up the occasion.

Wine bottle lights are an easy and inexpensive to make craft, most the material you will need you might even have around the house. Drill a hole in the back, put your craft lights in the hole, leaving the plug out. Decorate the bottle and that is it. You have a great  little light to put in your favorite room in your home or use them to make centerpieces at a wedding.

Decoarting centerpieces with craft lights is a great way to light up a special occasion or party. If you are having arrangements of fake flowers or small jars for a more rustic event, try adding some LED craft lights. They will look great and blend perfectly to give your table decor a little ambient lighting.

Canvas lights are great for lighting a kid's room or making for weddings. You can make small holes with a screwdriver that will allow you to put small LED craft lights in to make a design. You can also make the holes a little random if you are using it for a kids room or just to have around your home.

Lanterns are something that can be used for rustic weddings or just to light up your front porch. Find old lanterns and wrap up some short craft light sets  and put them inside. After you plug them up they will look great for a soft glowing light.

Tin can  lamps are an easy way to give a holiday, like July 4th a fun and very inexpensive light. You can paint the cans in red white and blue, punch out holes in the shapes of fireworks and stars that will fit the theme and put the small LED light strings inside to light up those late summer nights.

Grapvine ball lights are another great way to light up your backyard. All you have to have is grapevine balls and mini craft lights. Wrap the lights around and inside the grapevine and hang them wherever you would like with twine and burlap. They will give off just the right amount of light and look great for a patio or party light.

All of these uses are a great way to use both incandescent and LED craft lights. They will work perfectly any way you choose to use them. Mix and match the colors to fit exactly your needs. Have fun and be creative.
